Growing Fruit Trees

Growing fruit trees allows you to harvest your own delicious fruit with zero food miles for many years. Set up your own mini orchard, or fruiting hedge, grow fruit in pots, or use fruit trees as feature plants, for their scented flowers and colourful autumn leaves. Karen Sutherland from Edible Eden Design has fruit growing in her genes and can teach you how to choose fruit trees for your soil and situation, including pollinators, and set them up for success

Please feel free to bring any surplus produce, seeds, cuttings, plants, gardening magazines etc. to swap and share!

Please note that this is an event for Naarm/Melbourne gardeners only. If you live outside this area, please contact your council to find out what free sustainable gardening events are available locally. 

If you have any access or support questions or requirements in order to participate fully (eg. interpreter), please let us know at least two weeks prior to the event and we will be pleased to assist you. Photos will be taken at this event, but there is an option to opt out on the day.

This My Smart Garden event is proudly presented by Brimbank City Council on the land of Wurundjeri and Boon Wurung peoples of the Kulin nation. My Smart Garden pays our respect to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledges that First Nations peoples have cared for Country sustainably for tens of thousands of years.
